Fleetwood to miss several weeks

BBC Hereford and Worcester have reported that Stuart Fleetwood, who has scored six times so far for Hereford this season, could be out for up to several weeks. The virus has taken its toll on Fleetwood, who has reportedly lost close to a stone in weight, and it could take a while for the Welsh Under 21 striker to gain full fitness.

Graham Turner told the station that Fleetwood would have to build up his strength and fitness before he can take his place in the first team.

"He spent last Friday night in hospital on an antibiotic drip and didn't look too well when he came back into the club.

"We've got to make sure he gets the right food and builds his muscle bulk back up, because he was looking very powerful and very quick."
